McCann went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

McCann went yard in the sixth inning off Cleveland starter Shane Bieber. In the 10th inning, McCann got the White Sox within a run with an RBI single before he was replaced by pinch runner Ryan Goins. The 30-year-old McCann has done well in limited time this year, slashing .360/.407/.720 with three homers, five RBI and five runs scored across 27 plate appearances.

Barnes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Barnes and Will Smith have been deployed in a fairly even timeshare behind the dish this season, with Barnes having started seven games to Smith's nine. Though the Dodgers value Barnes for his defensive skills, he's been the inferior fantasy option of the two thus far, slashing .091/.167/.091 with two RBI and one run entering play Sunday.

Nola (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies, Lauren Smith of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Nola's injured hand remains tender after he hurt it in Friday's series opener, but he'll still be available off the bench in an emergency, which suggests the Mariners are optimistic he'll avoid a trip to the injured list. Joe Hudson will step in behind the dish for a second straight day in his stead.

Diaz will start at catcher and bat sixth Sunday against the Mariners, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

After going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Friday in his Rockies debut, Diaz will re-enter the lineup in the series finale while lefty Justus Sheffield takes the hill for the Mariners. Tony Wolters is still locked in as the Rockies' top catcher against right-handed pitching, but Diaz may have leapfrogged Drew Butera as the team's primary backstop versus southpaws.

Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

Austin Allen will step in behind the plate while Murphy gets some maintenance after catching each of the Athletics' past three games. The rookie has yet to catch fire at the plate through 12 games this season, batting 5-for-30 with 13 strikeouts.

Garver is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

After an 0-for-5 showing in Saturday's 9-6 loss, Garver's batting average has now slipped below .100 over 32 at-bats on the season. Alex Avila will catch Jose Berrios in the series finale and could see more work if Garver fails to break out of the offensive funk in the near future.

Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Jansen went 0-for-3 with a walk in Saturday's 2-1 win, leaving him hitless in 18 at-bats over his last six games. Reese McGuire will check in behind the dish in the series finale for what will be his fourth start of the 2020 season.

Tromp is not in the lineup Sunday against the Dodgers.

Tromp started the past three games and will take a seat after going 3-for-11 with a run scored and four strikeouts. Tyler Heineman will work behind the plate in Sunday's series finale.

Narvaez is not in the lineup Sunday against the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Narvaez started the past three games and will receive Sunday off after going 3-for-11 with one walk and four strikeouts in that span. Manny Pina will work behind the plate in the series finale.

D'Arnaud is not in the lineup for Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

The 31-year-old was never likely to start both games of the twinbill, and he'll take a seat for the matinee. D'Arnaud should return to the lineup for the nightcap, while Tyler Flowers starts behind the plate for Game 1.
